We’re pretty nuts! Native to the Middle East, pistachios are one of the oldest flowering nut trees- evidence suggests we were eating them as early as 7000B.C. Legend has it that the Queen of Sheba decreed pistachios an exclusively royal food, forbidding commoners from growing the nut for personal use! Well, because we are the Royal Nut Company, we decree that these nuts should be shared by everyone!

Famous for it’s stunning green kernel contrasting with a thin skin of pink and purple and an easy to open shell. We carry premium Australian pistachio kernels that are desired for their exceptionally bright green colour, as well as being naturally delicious.

Pistachios are a source of protein and fibre, assisting with a healthy digestive system and regular bowel function. They also contain iron, which helps move oxygen around the body to produce energy and folate which is essential for healthy new growth. They are a source of thaimin, folate, copper and vitamin B6 which is essential for making haemoglobin, which carries oxygen through the blood stream to cells, vitamin B6 also has wide-ranging effects on the nervous system. Pistachios are jam packed with antioxidants and healthy fats.

Pistachios are not just about looks! The Australian raw kernels we supply not only have exceptional colour, they are also very flavoursome and easy to use because they are already shelled. Add them to salads for a tasty and attractive addition, replace pine nuts in pesto or add them to biscotti and cakes. Yum!
